Detached house for sale in St. Michaels Road, Maidstone ME16

Roslin Villa is a substantial Victorian villa built in 1880, situated in a large plot with a stunning, walled garden. The house offers three large reception rooms and six double bedrooms over three floors, and benefits from double-glazing throughout. An original ragstone wall demarcates the property boundary on all four sides.

Despite being only a 15-minute walk from the town centre, the large walled garden provides a natural, tranquil oasis filled with birdsong. The garden is not overlooked and measures just over 114', with two patio areas and the remainder laid to lawn with matures trees and bushes. To the front there is a garage with plenty of off-street parking. These features have made the house a perfect venue for regular family gatherings over the years.

Many original features including fireplaces, archways, doors/locks and staircases have been preserved, and the property’s high ceilings and large windows help to create a feeling of light, space and wellbeing. Of the original 10 open fires, 5 still remain. Two are operational—one open fire in the lounge and one gas-operated in the dining room.

The house is located in a popular area just over 1⁄2 mile from the town centre, where there are a wealth of restaurants and shops, a cinema, theatre and two train stations: Maidstone West, with fast trains to St Pancras; and Maidstone East, which connects with London Victoria and Charing Cross. There are also a good number of both primary and secondary schools including two grammar schools.

The River Medway towpath is a 5-minute walk from the house and provides a scenic route east into town or west to a number of countryside walks and pubs. Teston Country Park is a short distance away with beautiful walks and a picnic area.
